Wood or Vinyl?

After considering the options, many homeowners narrow their choice down to either wood or vinyl. Both types of fences offer different benefits and drawbacks, so make sure to consult your contractor. Wood fences, for example, are generally cheaper upfront, but they aren’t as durable as vinyl fences and require more maintenance. Vinyl fences won’t need to be touched up as often, as the paint is embedded in the material. Finally, wood fences are biodegradable, though vinyl fences can also be recycled.
